Lauro Carneiro de Loyola Airport, coded JOI/SBJV, serves Joinville, the largest city in the state of Santa Catarina in southern Brazil. Named after a former Brazilian aviation minister, it functions as the primary commercial gateway to the Joinville metropolitan region, one of Brazil's most important industrial centers.
